Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus (EEEV)

Spring and summer season means vacation time, beach weather and outdoor fun. But
with change in the weather, means change in our exposures to different environments
and our susceptibility to different viruses and bacteria. We can stay healthy and
safe by taking precautions to maintain good overall health and to prevent exposure
to EEEV. Read more information below about what EEEV is and what you can do to reduce
your exposure.

Mosquitoes can begin to multiply in any puddle or standing water that lasts for
more than four days! Mosquito breeding sites can be anywhere. Take action to reduce
the number of mosquitoes around your home and neighborhood. Organize a neighborhood
clean up day to pick up containers from vacant lots and parks and to encourage people
to keep their yards free of standing water. Mosquitoes don't care about fences,
so it's important to remove areas of standing water throughout the neighborhood.
